Members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, given a preview of the photographs last night, also commented favorably. NEW FEATURES Vilander hastened to correct any impressions that the pledge pictures were the only worth-while features of his magazine "Among new articles and special pages for this year," he said, "are a poetry page, and the return of Mr. Arbuthnot, the noted clichque expert, who has been interviewed regarding his favorite pastime, that of watching football contests." T. K. Wright, campus columnist, also has his regular amount of space in the new Wampus, and adopts a new medium of expression.

Raubenheimer, chairman, has been approved by Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the university, and will go into effect at the beginning of the next academic year. The program looks to the attainment of three main objectives: to effect a sharp division of the student's undergraduate work in two two-year periods: the lower-division (freshman and sophomore) curriculum and the upper-division (junior and senior) curriculum; to give the student an opportunity to set up either a Division or Department major in his upper-win lead the caravan ofTrojan fans! division years; to institute a special Honors Division curriculum for which the superior scho-from%the school to the Southern lar can qualify in his*third and fourth years with a 2. average.

SIX DIVISIONS In the second case, the committee seeks, by the rearrangement of the departments of the college into six upper class Divisions (Letters, Social Studies, Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and Mathematics. Arts, and Professional Studies) to enable the student who has fulfilled the requirements of his two introductory years to formulate a jroad major in a Division or ar intensified major in a Department. In the third case, the committee, believing that "emphatic provision must be made for the encouragement of exceptional scholarship or talent on the part of students with superior endowment and commanding purposes." has created an Hon-' ors Division which thfe student of ' distinction can enter in his junior i year. The Honors student will be required to attend only eight teim hours of classwork each semester, and in addition will undertake a directed program of intensive reading in the Division or Department j which he has elected for his major. At the conclusion of the third and fourth years, he will come up for "the junior examination" and "the senior examination" which "will test the Honors student's general knowledge of the major field, and his more detailed knowledge of the set fields of concentration."

The third and fourth years should afford opportunity for intensive work in broad Divisions of cultural significance or in more specialized Departments, according to the needs and purposes of the student. 6. All requirements should serve a functional purpose in the program of the student; requirements that are merely hurdles should not be tolerated. The plan here suggested, based realistically upon the facilities of the College as they now exist, and bearing in mind the specific requirements of professional schools, attempts: 1. To correct certain weaknesses in the current program. 2. To provide more logically for the needs of the complex student body—which includes many transfers from other institutions, from within and without the state. 3. To correlate the work of the College more definitely with the work of the secondary schools. 4. To introduce certain practices that either have been suggested by the university's own experience, or have demonstrated their value elsewhere. 5. To arrive at some solution of the problems resulting from the university's specific circumstances and needs rather than to introduce any "plan" devised for other institutions and for other conditions. The committee wishes to make it clear that it is not sponsoring the introduction of the Chicago plan, or the Swarthmore plan, or the Wisconsin plan, or any other system devised elsewhere to meet other conditions. With these principles and purposes in mind, the committee makes the following recommendations: A. THE REORGANIZATION OF THE COLLEGE In order that the complex program of the College may be personal and social adjustment, administered most effectively, the committee recommends This course, required of second year Journalists To Be Filmed Today in the editorial offices in the Student Union. All reporters, desk editors, special writers, sports writers, members of the proof staff, and copy desk workers will be expected to attend, according to John Golay, editor. A roll call will be taken during the meeting. Special meetings of each group will be held immediately following the general meeting. Members of Sigma Delta Chi will hold a preliminary meeting at 3 p.m. in the sports office. the committee members have endeavored, in stating the aims of the new basic courses in the first two years, to provide for a "rounding-out" of these backgrounds, as well as to present new subject matter appropriate to the university level. A limited opportunity to explore the fields which they expect to elect as their majors in the last two years' work is also allowed the lower-division students. I The committee has these thimr to say with regard to the bas e lower-division courses: "The required course in Man anc* Civilization should introduce th; student to the development of human ideas, arts, and institution? It should be administered centrally with a common syllabus, as r lower division course of a non-dc partmentalized type; it should provide for two lectures a week (delivered to large groups in Bovarc auditorium) by a staff drawn fron' the general faculty, and for tw hours of work in smaller section meeting for quiz and discussion. "The required course in Problem of Human Behavior should b adapted to the needs and interests of the general lower-division student dealing broadly with the nature of human endowment, mental life, habit formation, learning.

text: A little over a week ago it was noticed that Donnie didn't have a normal wet spot in his stall for a few days. Since he wasn't acting differently and didn't have a fever, we assumed maybe he was urinating before he came in but determined to watch him anyway for signs to make sure he was alright. The lessening amount of wet in his stall continued for a few more days and we decided to have the vet come out and take a look to make sure he was okay. In the meantime, we thought maybe it would be a good idea to check his sheath to see if he needed a cleaning or maybe had a bean.

Jackson Jr. Likely Headed To Prison
Posted by wlpo on February 16, 2013
CHICAGO (AP) – The prospect of prison now looms over former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife after they agreed to plead guilty to charges in an alleged scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.
Those items allegedly included everything from furs to a hat once owned by Michael Jackson.
It wasn't immediately clear how much time either could end up doing after the legal drama inevitably reaches its climax before a sentencing judge within a few months.
But one former federal prosecutor in Chicago says judges frown on breeches of public trust. He says that may mean Jesse Jackson Jr. serves at least a few years. He thought Sandi Jackson would likely get a term of just several months.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

'Gangnam style' rights, a gift for dad: Jackky BhagnaniMar 2, 2013 IANS
Mumbai, March 2 (IANS) It took actor Jackky Bhagnani a long time to get the rights to Korean singer Psy's superhit number "Gangnam style" for his film "Rangrezz". He says it was his gift from him to his father, producer Vashu Bhagnani.
"I thought that Indians should also have this song. So I started a conversation, which took three months. When I got the papers signed for the song ('Gangnam style'), I took them to my dad and said, 'You have done a lot for me and I have got a gift for you'. He was shocked to see that gift," the 27-year-old said here Friday at the Wassup Andheri Fest.
"We have named our Gangnam as 'Desi gangnam'," said the actor, who admits he is now "trying to establish my own identity."
Meanwhile, Jackky also wants to concentrate a bit on his personal life.
"Let me earn for myself, then I will spend on my girlfriends. Earlier, I was fat, so girls never noticed me, but now I have shed weight, so let me make girlfriends first!" Jackky said.
Directed by Priyadarshan, "Rangrezz", releasing March 22, features actress Priya Anand opposite Jackky. Click the Movie button below for more info:

Port Washington library candidates to debate
With three candidates vying for two seats on the Port Washington Library Board, the League of Women Voters of Port Washington-Manhasset will hold a candidates' debate Wednesday, less than a week before Tuesday's election.
Incumbent trustee Thomas Donoghue is running for his fourth term, along with challengers Michael Krevor and Susan J. Miller. Trustee Joe Burden is retiring. A term lasts five years.
A budget, up 1.95 percent from last year and just below the 2 percent tax cap, must be approved, too, said Nancy Curtin, the library's director.
Curtin offered a preview of Wednesday's conversation. "What the candidates are trying to do is look at how we can grow with the fiscal constraints on us -- the 2 percent tax cap -- trying to bring us forward in the digital world and making sure the library can meet the challenge."
The library has a number of digital projects and renovations in the works. A redesign for the children's library is planned, Curtin said, and the library is weighing adding a digital media room, with music, photo, and film editing software. For most residents, she said, those tools are "normally beyond reach."
The library lets residents borrow Nooks pre-loaded with bestseller books. Already, some books can be downloaded digitally, directly from the library's website.
After superstorm Sandy, she said, the library may want to buy a powerful standby generator, because like many other Island libraries Port Washington's became a hub to charge phones and decompress.
Wednesday's debate at the library starts at 7:30 p.m. Residents can vote Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

After the war, the piers fell into disuse, as ports in Oakland, Alameda and Richmond were better equipped to respond to the conversion to containerized shipping. Piers 1 ˝ and 5 were early examples of finding new uses for buildings which form a valuable part of the city's environment. The former Passenger Waiting Room of Pier 1 ˝ was converted into an architect's waterfront office, and the bulkheads of Piers 1 ˝ and 5 were used as professional office space. While many of the piers were demolished, Piers 1 ˝, 3 and 5 remain the most visible from the Ferry Building and Market Street, still the main thoroughfare of the city.
In January of 2001, San Francisco Waterfront Partner, LLC was selected by the Port of San Francisco to redevelop the historic Piers 1 ˝, 3 and 5. The project focuses on preserving and rehabilitating the historic maritime design of the Northeast Waterfront and the Ferry Building Waterfront while enhancing the public use and access to the historic and scenic waterfront setting.
The Central Embarcadero Piers Historic District includes Piers 1, 1 ˝, 3 and 5 off the Embarcadero, between Washington and Broadway sts., facing the San Francisco Bay. Some of the shops in the historic pier building are open during normal business hours. For further information on the redevelopment project, visit www.thepierssf.com

To encourage and enable professors to incorporate cloud-basaed technology into their curricula, IBM has launched a cloud computing environment for academia. At launch, IBM is initially working with 20 colleges and universities across the U.S. to help them use the Academic Skills Cloud. More schools will be added over time. The new cloud will provide academia an opportunity to use IBM software at no charge without having to install and maintain it themselves.
Building on the recently announced IBM Cloud Academy program for educational institutions, the new Academic Skills Cloud provides academia access to cloud computing resources for workforce skills development. IBM is partnering with educational institutions to leverage the power of cloud computing and enhance teaching and research services with more efficient IT environments.
Using the new IBM Academic Skills Cloud, professors can help students:
- Learn the latest technology skills, such as software development and practical use of information management, Web 2.0 and cloud computing and how they can be applied for decision-making;
- Access IT curricula and courses from anywhere using their laptop or netbook;
- Differentiate themselves from other graduates by gaining key IT skills to better compete for jobs.
Additionally, faculty can take advantage of cloud-delivered skills resources to integrate new IT courses in their curriculum, regardless of subject taught; facilitate group and long-distance learning programs for students; and free-up existing university technology infrastructure resources.
The first wave of academics using the skills cloud will be able to teach technology skills based on IBM Rational, WebSphere and Information Management software including Rational Application Developer, Rational Team Concert, Rational Software Architect, WebSphere Application Server, DB2 and Informix. IBM plans to add additional software over time including Cognos, Lotus and Tivoli.
"Businesses today are looking to the technology industry and academia to produce a highly-skilled workforce that can help drive transformational projects and solve industry-specific problems," said Jim Corgel, general manager, IBM Academic Initiative. "IBM is collaborating with academia to meet these needs and deliver IT skills through cloud computing to help the next generation of entrepreneurs graduate and be ready to innovate."

So who is Mega TV? We're glad you asked!
- KTBU began broadcasting on July 15, 1998 and was originally owned by Humanity Interested Media
- After a series of ownership changes, it was purchased by Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., the largest publicly traded Hispanic-controlled media company in the United States, in May 2011
- Mega TV currently reaches more than 5 million households with over-the-air, cable and satellite distribution on an HD signal
- Mega TV has full distrubution in the Houston DMA.
- Mega TV has a daily news show called Portada that airs every night from 10-11. The show will include news/highlights about the Dynamo, with new episodes airing every Tuesday and Thursday.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Kevin Durant scored 31 points, Serge Ibaka added 18 points and 11 rebounds and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Sacramento Kings 113-103 on Friday night for their 10th straight win.
It's the franchise's longest winning streak since 1996, when it won 11 in a row as the Seattle SuperSonics.
The Kings didn't go away easily, closing to 103-98 after trailing by as many as 24 in the fourth quarter. Isaiah Thomas scored all 26 of his points in the final 13 1/2 minutes. He had four 3-pointers, a layup and a jumper during a 23-4 comeback attempt by Sacramento.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks had already emptied his bench, but ended up calling timeout to put starters back in and hold off the Kings.

How can you bring surfboards? - I am traveling to Elbow Cay in the near future and i want to bring my own board but i have run into a problem, i cannot seem to find a way to get them there. the American Airlines planes that fly to Marsh Harbour will not take boads and fed-ex wont ship them. any suggestions???
By Anonymous , 25-02-2008
anoyno-mouse - I lived in elbow cay and i can assure you that unless there is a hurricane spinning off the coast, august will not be epic, unless 3-4ft SE chop is your thing. The place that rents boards only rents funboards and longboards (BIC) so bring your own. Please be respectful of the locals as we do have a thriving surf scene here now, and for heavens sake get out of the water when theres a contest!

I've only got small experience playing with this protection (Of course, it IS a "new" thing out now). It's from Macrovision, so I'm thinking it's based off of FlexLM and the like. Anyway, the new Install***** 11 is based on it.
Version 11 of the mentioned product has a 15 day demo out. One interesting thing about it is that after it expires on your machine, even re-imaging the hard disk doesn't restore the demo. In other words, I have a XP image of my hard disk from before I install the product, that I reapply to the drive. I tested this as well without any internet connection. So it appears to be physically writing something off somewhere else on the disk.
I've read a tut by Tseph about SafeCast doing such a thing, writing to sector 0x32 on the hard drive, and that tut's target (I mean the protection on the target) was also from Macrovision, so no doubt a similar technique is being used here.
Although I didn't notice any *.sys files being used by the app, one would think that would be necessary to write to the drive at the low level. Under Win2K and XP you can open the physical drive just as a file handle (CreateFile("\\.\\.\\\PhysicalDrive0")) but as far as I knew you could really only read from it, not write to it. I've done that myself to parse MBR and partition tables. Hm yes I guess you can write too....
Anyway, pretty sure they are either doing it this way or writing something to BIOS (pretty inconcievable). Any else have some ideas?
Guess I'll have to try BPX on WriteFile.
I'm also going to play with it in VirtualPC and see how it behaves.

Shareology is proud to feature guest blogger Agency Babylon today; the subject? Are you maximizing your use of LinkedIn and Twitter as you meet with folks? Shareology smiled knowingly at a recent meeting when her coffee mate pulled out a copy of her LinkedIn profile. Smart, she thought!
Let's learn more from Agency Babylon:
By Neal Kielar, Agency Babylon
"It goes without saying."
I've eaten those words before. Now I'm about to do it again as I find instance after instance of otherwise bright people who don't take the time to learn who they're talking to and with whom they're about to do business.
The fact is, just about all of your prospective customers and clients, partners and competitors, colleagues and other contacts have digital profiles these days. They are practically hiding in plain sight – but hiding only to the extent that you don't use free and ubiquitous online tools to seek them out and learn more about them.
What mysterious tools are these? Ever hear of Bing! or Google? How about LinkedIn or Naymz or Plaxo? Twitter? Facebook anyone? While these are just the tip of the iceberg, they constitute a sound starting point for researching people with whom you do, will or want to have business relationships.
- Business prospecting. In addition to researching the company itself (you do that, don't you?), you can use LinkedIn to see the profiles of people with decision-making authority to whom you'll likely be pitching. Don't forget to seek them out on Twitter, as well. Knowing who they are, where they've been, what and how they think, and what style they seem to project will help you better prepare. You might even have one or more connections in common that can warm up your entrée to them.
- Account management. Have a new client contact? You're going to want to get off on the right foot. So you should know something about the new client team member, like how long they've been with the company, what their role(s) have been over time, or if new to the company where they came from. You want to know their areas and level of expertise so you can interact with them appropriately, e.g., patient and extra helpful if they're a newbie and with a touch of extra deference (or caution) if they are senior. LinkedIn, Twitter and online searches are all in order here, ideally before the new relationship launches. One of your jobs is to build rapport, and knowing how to connect with your clients is key.
- Account team member. So you're a designer or writer or programmer, definitely on the account team but not the lead interface. Are you excused? No, because there are people on the client team with whom you're likely to collaborate. It would help a designer to know the background of the design lead on the client side, and writers or strategists or other roles just the same. Because you understand your client counterparts better, there's a fair chance of working more smoothly with them.
- Agency colleague. So the new gal or guy is coming on board. And of course your boss or HR have sent out a detailed backgrounder on this interloper. Right. At least they tell you the person is about to join the team (although I worked at one place where, weirdly, they failed to do even that sometimes). When you find out who's joining your cozy corner, get on the interwebs and learn more about them. You can use that information to fashion a warm welcome or maybe gird yourself for a would-be nemesis – all depending on the culture of your shop and your own attitude, but that's up to you.
Postscript: If everything was obvious to everyone, no one would need the services of smart agencies and consultants or even much staff. Agency Babylon is always willing to "state the obvious" in its mission to help all of us shine just a little brighter.

Loss puts Brewers on other end of streak snapper
Gallardo turns in fourth straight quality start, but 'pen takes loss
MILWAUKEE -- Eight years after the Brewers snapped their long losing streak at the Pirates' expense in Pittsburgh, it was the Pirates' turn to do the same at Miller Park.
A 4-3 win against the Brewers on Tuesday was the Pirates' 81st victory, ending a record-setting streak of 20 consecutive losing seasons. Andrew McCutchen homered and scored three runs, but it took pinch-hitter Travis Snider's go-ahead home run in the ninth inning to snap the longest streak of losing seasons in North American professional sports history.
The Brewers' own skid spanned only 12 seasons, but felt just as burdensome as 2005 neared its end. On Sept. 30 of that year, at PNC Park, Damian Miller and Geoff Jenkins hit two-run home runs in the seventh inning, and the Brewers beat the Pirates, 6-5, to improve to 81-79 and ensure a non-losing season.
The only man who was in a Brewers uniform that night on Tuesday night was Marcus Hanel, Milwaukee's veteran bullpen catcher.
"I just know it was a big moment -- an 'over the hump' moment," Hanel said. "We didn't have to hear about losing anymore. It was a good sense of accomplishment for the organization. There was a ray of hope."
There is more than a ray of hope for these first-place Pirates, who are 81-57, and with a Cardinals loss in Cincinnati, opened a two-game lead in the National League Central.
McCutchen, Justin Morneau and Marlon Byrd did much of the damage for the Pirates, combining to go 7-for-10 with three walks, three runs scored and three RBIs. Byrd's RBI double off Brandon Kintzler in the eighth inning gave the Pirates one lead, and after Jean Segura tied the game with a single in the bottom of the frame, Snider's homer off Brewers closer Jim Henderson in the ninth put Pittsburgh ahead again.
Mark Melancon (11th save) worked around Scooter Gennett's double with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and the Pirates' historic losing streak was, well, history.
"It was on our to-do list," manager Clint Hurdle said. "The one family I'm happy for here is the Clemente family. I had a little talk with them earlier in the season and they told me, 'We can't have 21 losing seasons. We've got to find a way to not have Roberto's number tied to that.' I told them we would do everything we could to take care of that, and it's been taken care of."
Henderson is in his first rough patch of a solid first season as Brewers closer. He allowed only two home runs in his first 48 appearances this season, but has allowed a homer in three of his last four.
"The game will mess with you," Henderson said. "I threw a few good sliders that outing, and the one bad one I threw, it gets knocked out of the park. It stinks when the team comes back and battles hard to tie it up in the eighth, and I've let them down the last two times I've been out. Those are the things I take hard."
Brewers relievers have surrendered 13 earned runs in the first five games of an 0-5 homestand that concludes Wednesday night.
Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo labored early before settling in to allow two runs in seven innings, his fourth consecutive quality start since a two-week stint on the disabled list for a strained hamstring. In those four games, Gallardo has pitched to a 1.37 ERA (four earned runs in 26 1/3 innings).
He topped 20 pitches in each of the first and third innings -- including a 23-pitch, nine-strike opening frame -- but did not top 13 pitches in any of his final four innings of work and limited the Pirates to five hits on 104 pitches.
"Very pleased," Gallardo said of his post-DL bounce back. "It's not easy -- especially when you're facing a lineup like that -- to throw that many pitches in the first inning and then keep my pitch count down after that and get into the seventh.
"Earlier in the year, it could have been the total opposite of what it was today. After the first few innings, I tried to settle down and keep the ball down in the zone, have them swing the bat. I was able to do that."
He was opposed by Pirates right-hander Gerrit Cole, who allowed Jonathan Lucroy's two-run single in the first inning, but was otherwise tough. Cole surrendered only three more hits on the way to a six-inning no-decision. He limited the damage to two runs on five hits, with one walk and five strikeouts.
The Pirates' next victory will be even more significant, ensuring their first winning season since 1992. Hanel was a Pirates' farmhand then, and remembers taking a break from the instructional league to gather with his teammates for Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. He watched as the Pirates took a 2-0 lead on the Braves into the bottom of the ninth inning.
"When the Pirates lost that game, it was like a death in the family," Hanel said. "The next day at practice, we went out there to stretch, and it was morbid. Devastation. That loss, we felt it through the whole organization.
"There are still some familiar faces over there, and for that city, and it being the team that drafted you, there's always a special place in your heart."

I'm afraid you will have to wait a little longer. We will have plenty of character creation tutorials coming in December to coincide with the release of CTA2. Not too long to wait.
Of course nothing to stop you creating your characters designs now at the angles shown HERE. Then in December we will show you how to put them altogether to create your SWF template sheet.
PeterForum Administratorwww.reallusion.com
PeterForum Administrator
Nice work with the hand drawings.
I wouldn't say overboard at all. As each angle of a multi-dimensional character can have different hand sprites, you should be able to make use of a lot of these with your character.
PeterForum Administratorwww.reallusion.com
I don't know if this helps or if the SWF's exported are compatible with CTA but......I would recommend Swishmax for flash as it takes the labour out of scripting and modelling.
When I was into 2D a project with a girlfriend of mine resulted in an enormous undertaking which never got finished because Reallusion came along for me and a Contract in france for her. However, we thought it fun to leave the site online. Don't use spanishcanary.com though, use THIS LINK...
See THIS LINK
and take a look at some of the pages. The characters are in the Japanese style. The method for modelling was easy. Place a picture of the character or person you wish to mimic on the stage.Add vectors and reshape them to the various elements, face, eyes, cheeks, blush, clothing, and surrounds chairs, props etc.Group them as sprites, animated or not.
Export as SWF or FLV's.
Actually, this page here used to be an individual site I created launched in the House of Commons by the Prime Minister, Chief of Police and Heads of UK Education for a National Charity. The layers, interactivity and animation was all done in one page and at the time was the worlds most flash animated interactive page ever built. Hence the snatch of my work for child safety online and national coverage. If it doesn't animate simplistically when clicked on it drags or plays.
I built it for fun. Didn't expect anything to come of it and launched it online. The chief of police was informed because I tied it into a banking financial secure server for child mail and was apparently the first person ever to do this.
The rest is history.So, dedication, never-give-in attitude, and imagination pay off sometimes. The current page was readapted and even further enhanced but its all flash vectors built in SwishMax.

by: Grant Green
This quintet date by guitarist Grant Green was one of the last of his Blue Note albums to be reissued on CD, and it is somewhat clear why. The musicians (Green, trumpeter Johnny Coles, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, organist John Patton, and drummer Ben Dixon) play well enough, but there are few inspiring moments. The material is not all that exciting, and the laid-back feeling sometimes leads to dull moments. Most of the fire is provided by Henderson, but such songs as "Am I Blue," "I Wanna Be Loved," and a nearly 14-minute version of "For All We Know" are a bit sleepy. Although certainly listenable enough, this is one of Grant Green's lesser efforts from the 1960s. ~ Scott Yanow

The Xperia M2 is Sony's attempt at making some of its premium technologies available to the masses by slapping it with a budget price.
The ugly Xperia, Poor screen
The Xperia M2 is instantly recognisable as a Sony smartphone. Much of its DNA is a carbon copy of Sony's famed Xperia range, but the fine details that make company's premium smartphones desirable is missing. Thick bezels make it look dated, and the screen does little to elevate the experience.
The screen's fondness of fingerprints takes the joy out of content
The screen stretches a 960x540 resolution over 4.8-inches, which ultimately gives the Xperia M2 a 229 pixel-per-inch density. At time the pixel grid will distract you, while the screen's fondness of fingerprints takes the joy out of watching content.
Ultimately the display on the Xperia M2 falls behind that of Huawei's Ascend G6, Motorola's Moto G, HTC's Desire 816 and LG's Nexus 5.
Jelly Bean flavour, Quad-core power
Sony's software is the big scoop on the Xperia M2, even if the smartphone ships with the now defunct Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Years of refinement has benefitted Sony's Android overlay, imbuing it with a healthy balance of intuitive design and granular controls. The Xperia M2 might not look like a flagship on the outside, but on the inside it sure runs like one — and that's in spite of its modest hardware.
Sony's software is the big scoop on the Xperia M2
Working behind the scenes is a 1.2GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. Instructions are carried out quickly and rarely do you feel the smartphone is straining. Ideally more RAM would've suited the M2, even if it was like the Desire 816's 1.5GB, but the included 1GB serves the smartphone well enough.
Sony has been more generous with the smartphone's connectivity features. The Xperia M2 supports 4G internet, dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac), near field communications (NFC), DLNA and GPS.
The smartphone has a non-removable 2300 milliamp-hour battery. Good Gear Guide used the smartphone to make phone calls, send text messages, surf the web, stream YouTube videos, watch movies and listen to music. Our testing revealed the smartphone would average a day of battery life, and it achieved these results without having its efficient 'stamina mode' enabled.
8MP camera, Full HD video
Sony is renowned for its imaging capabilities. Buying a Sony smartphone comes with the expectation that it will be able to take good photos and videos.
Landscape shots with the big blue sky or an evening sunset look great
Sitting flushed on the rear of the Xperia M2 is an 8 megapixel camera and a single LED flash. Usually captured photos look better when viewed on a smartphone screen, but the low resolution screen of the Xperia M2 doesn't do it any favours. Viewing photos on a large screen monitor or television serves the camera justice.
There are telltale signs this is a Sony camera. Landscape shots with the big blue sky or an evening sunset look great as the camera can discern fine gradations in colour, but the lack of an HDR mode means detail in shadowy foregrounds will be lost.
Lighting is paramount in getting quality photos with this camera. Photos taken in conditions where lighting is complex or poor will result in too much image noise, while photos with sun glare will wash out colour.
Videos recorded with the M2 are disappointing, even though the camera supports Full HD recording. Most videos will look grainy due to the large amount of image noise present. The fact the flash can't be enabled/disabled while recording is another deal-breaker.
The Xperia M2 has a VGA front facing camera that records video in 480p resolution.
Final thought
Sony currently recommends retailers sell the Xperia M2 for $399, and at that price the smartphone can't compete with , Motorola's $249 Moto G, HTC's $399 Desire 816 and especially not LG's $399 Nexus 5. Compared to these rivals, its screen, hardware and camera all prove inferior.
It's a shame because the smartphone delivers an otherwise enjoyable experience. The software is versatile and the hardware, although modest, is powerful enough to keep the M2 competitive.
Put bluntly: the Xperia M2 can't compete at this price point. We're afraid Sony has priced themselves out of contention — by about $100.

You know my favorite kind of scofflaws? The friendly ones. Those are nice. What's a scofflaw, you ask? It's one who scoffs at laws, of course! You see them everywhere. They cut people off in traffic. They go 90 on the highway. They ride their bikes through red lights. And they embrace it.
Can you guess what else they do? They barrel through crosswalks when they don't have the right of way, but they wave and smile at you. Because they're really just that friendly. So, thank you, soccer mom in the burgundy Ford Excursion with license plates WTE something. My helmet off to you for your display of kindness. It really brightened my day that you took the time to wave as you blasted right past this:
Do you know what that is?
First off, it's thermonuclear yellow and it's sticking out of the middle of the road. I know it had to have caught your eye. It also has one of those red-n-white octo-whatever shapes on it. I know you might not be able to read one-syllable English words, but a stop sign is a stop sign, and they're ubiquitous and universal here in the US. I know you have meals to cook, mouths to feed, and kids to pick up from practice. Please, for the love of all things good in the world, learn what to do when you encounter a sign like this in the future, especially if there's someone waiting patiently to enter the intersection. Smile and wave all you want. Just make sure you stop as well. The five seconds it sets you back will be rewarded by knowing that some nerd (like me) isn't going to berate you on the Internet.
The same goes for you evil school bus drivers.
You a-holes don't even wave. Bastions of safety with your day-glo orange vests, your powerful traffic-stopping swing-out signs and four-way blinkers. You'll stop at railroad crossings to guard the lives of those on board. You'll radio the cops if a car passes while your stop sign is out. At the same time, you refuse to give pause to pedestrians with the right-of-way in crosswalks unless you're in a school zone. I would laugh at this dichotomy if it hadn't resulted in countless close calls. Wonder why your dispatcher chewed your ass out over the radio? It's because I called you in, nimrod. You are driving a massive vehicle with your company's name all over it. Each one of your ginormous twinkie-shaped kidlet carriages is individually numbered. This isn't so kids know which moron to ride home with. It's so people like me can return the favor when people like you make my life hell.
Can you guess what else scofflaws do? They litter. They throw Sonic and Burger King cups, cigarette butts, and all kinds of jetsam and flotsam out the windows of their cars so that they can be whisked away into storm drains by rain or street sweepers. The rubbish doesn't end its journey there, though. It traverses a series of tubes (not the Internet) and winds up in a creek or a river somewhere, kind of like this.
What? Can't see it? Let me zoom in for you.
Okay. I need to turn this post around. My blood pressure could probably burst a tubular tire right now.
Really, my ride home wasn't that bad. I just felt like venting. Enjoy some more photos.
The wheel is going to attack these people:
I haven't seen this truck before, but this guy's campaign was something like 3 years ago. I guess Scofflaws also like to deface things. But this was chuckle-worthy.

Sorry you had a bad day...hopefully you CRUSHED that racer on the 20" mountain bike! ;) Many people at stop signs think it's THE place to throw trash out since they are already stopped...why stink up your car with cig butts and sonic wrappers; heaven knows that could decrease your trade in value of your POS SUV

While Congress reached a last-minute deal Wednesday to allow the government to keep borrowing until Feb. 7 and keep the government funded until Jan. 15, the next fiscal battle will come as the bicameral conference committee that was set up under the deal tries to hammer out a budget for 2014 — specifically, replacing the next round of sequestration cuts.
So says analyst Andy Friedman of The Washington Update in his Monday commentary. The sequestration spending cuts, which are set to take effect on Jan. 15 — when yet another government shutdown looms — were implemented as part of the compromise that raised the debt ceiling in August 2011. They reduce spending for defense and other government functions, but as Friedman notes, the cuts do not impact Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
As yet another twin deadline looms, the markets will likely "get nervous" and suffer another downturn, he says.
However, "because Congress will not allow the nation to default, that downturn should be temporary, with the markets rebounding once an agreement is in sight. Thus, investors should view the downturn as a buying opportunity."
Noting that the cuts "are not popular with either party," Friedman says that Republicans will seek to replace the defense cuts with "deeper cuts to social programs and cuts to entitlements," — namely, slowing the growth of Social Security cost-of-living increases through the use of the "chained" consumer price index and requiring affluent recipients to pay more for Medicare coverage.
Democrats, on the other hand, "will resist entitlement changes and will seek to offset the sequestration cuts at least in part with new taxes," Friedman says. To that end, President Barack Obama has proposed a number of tax changes, including taxing municipal bond interest, limiting the amount individuals may accumulate in tax-preferred retirement accounts, and reversing recent expansions of the estate and gift tax exemptions. But, says Friedman: "I can say with virtually certainty that none of these proposals will get through the conference committee."
Indeed, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Sunday on CBS' Face the Nation that when Congress "re-engages" early next year, he will not allow lawmakers to "raise spending" by raising taxes, as the Democrats have suggested. "Our Democratic friends want to bust the caps — in other words, spend more — and they want to raise taxes. For me, the bottom line, when we re-engage early next year, is I don't want to bust the caps, and I don't want to raise spending because we are, in fact, reducing government spending, not as much as we need to," but the bipartisan Budget Control Act of 2011 "is a success."
Freidman predicts the following proposals from the president are "more viable" options: to close "loopholes," including (1) eliminating the ability of someone who inherits an IRA or 401(k) to "stretch" the payments over his or her lifetime; and (2) curtailing the availability of sophisticated wealth transfer techniques such as grantor retained annuity trusts ("GRATs"), intentionally defective grantor trusts and dynasty trusts. If the budget committee fails to reach an agreement, Freidman warns, Congress faces yet another choice on Jan. 15: Either fund the government for the remainder of 2014 "at the lower spending levels reflected in the sequester," or not pass a funding bill at all, resulting in yet another government shutdown.
McConnell noted on Face the Nation that there would not be another government shutdown. "Shutting down the government, in my view, is not conservative policy," McConnell said. "I don't think a two-week paid vacation for federal employees is conservative policy. A number of us were saying in July that this strategy could not and would not work, and of course it didn't. So there will not be another government shutdown. You can count on that."
But Friedman says the "bigger issue" will come after Feb. 7, when Congress will need to raise the debt ceiling to avoid default. "In Washington, past really is prologue," he said. "Stay tuned."
Friedman notes the market drop that occurred between Sept. 8, when the market first took notice of the brewing conflict over funding the government, and Oct. 8, when the Republican House leadership acknowledged that it would not permit the nation to default. During this time period, the Dow lost 5.7% and the S&P index lost 4.1%.
But the from Oct. 8 through Oct. 17, when Congress passed the compromise legislation, the Dow gained 4% and the S&P gained 4.7% to reach an all-time high and "investors who purchased equities on the downturn were rewarded," he says.
Investors, he says, can still find comfort in knowing that "plenty more opportunities for Washington dysfunction are upcoming."
While Friedman says that he continues to believe that Congress will not allow the nation to default on its debt, "any market downturn in anticipation of a debt ceiling deadline can provide a buying opportunity."

Staircase among Titanic artefacts sought
A bronze cherub from the wreck of the Titanic is among the highlights of a 5500-piece collection of artefacts being fought over in a US bankruptcy court.
The RMS Titanic Inc Collection has become available after a US company that owns the items filed for bankruptcy.
A campaign has been launched to bring the items to Belfast for display at the Titanic museum.
Titanic Belfast, the Titanic Foundation, National Museums Northern Ireland and the National Maritime Museum united to launch the multimillion dollar Titanic Artefacts Collection campaign.
The collection includes personal jewellery from the 1503 people who died in the disaster, with rings, necklaces, pendants, watches and brooches among the trove along with buttons, tiepins, hairpins, belt buckles, cufflinks, medals, a coin purse, a jewellery box and eyeglasses.
It also includes fittings and furniture from the ill-fated liner, such as bench frames, table bases, a dining room seat back, bed frames, portholes and stained glass windows.
The list describes the bronze cherub, from the ship's grand staircase, as the most exceptional item because it is the "only substantial figural object in the collection".
As well as the cherub, the collection includes sections of the garland and balustrade from the grand staircase which became famous following the James Cameron movie about the sinking of the ship.
Some of the more poignant items include letters, shoes, combs, mirrors and a toy plane.

This (and many other recent threads) leads me to ask the question, why doesn't openldap provide more reasonable defaults for bdb, if no DB_CONFIG file is present?
Telling beginners to openldap that in order to use our software, you need to go out and read (and more importantly understand) all the nuisances of BDB is overwhelming, and I think unnecessary. Openldap should start up with reasonable values for average use cases, if no other config info is provided.
Going out and learning all of the details of Berkeley is something that should be reserved for those that want to tweak openldap for maximum performance in their environment - it shouldn't be required for basic use.
It seems like every time someone posts a suggestion here for a bdb setting, an expert tells them that it is a bad idea. And that they need to go read the manual.
Why don't the experts just set some defaults (instead of relying on Berkeley's defaults) and then post a couple of different examples of tweaking options - one for very large datasets, one for bulk loads, etc.

A function is "differentiable" if it has a derivative. A function is "continuous" if it has no sudden jumps in it.
Until today, I thought these were merely two equivalent definitions of the same concept. But I've read some stuff today which seems to be claiming that this is not the case.
The obvious next question is "why?" Apparently somebody has already asked:
Are Continuous Functions Always Differentiable?
Several answers were given, but I don't understand any of them. In particular, Wikipedia and one of the replies above both claim that $|x|$ has no derivative. Can anyone explain this extremely unexpected result?
Edit: Apparently some people dislike the fact that this is non-obvious to me. To be clear: I am not saying that the result is untrue. (I'm sure many great mathematicians have analysed the question very carefuly and are quite sure of the answer.) I am saying that it is extremely perplexing. (As a general rule, mathematics has a habit of doing that. Which is one of the reasons why we demand proof of everything.)
In particular, can anyone explain precisely why the derivative of $|x|$ at zero is not simply zero? After all, the function is neither increasing nor decreasing, which ought to mean the derivative is zero. Alternatively, the expression
$$\frac{|x + a| - |x - a|}{a}$$
becomes closer and closer to zero as $a$ becomes closer to zero when $x=0$. (In fact, it is exactly zero for all $a$!) Is that not how derivatives work?
Several answers have suggested that the derivative is not defined here "because there would be a jump in the derivative at that point". This seems to assert that a continuous function must never have a discontinuous derivative; I'm not convinced that this is the case. Can anyone confirm or refuse this argument?

Later this year, there'll be a new version of Monopoly called Monopoly Live that places a 10-inch tower right in the middle of the board. Why? Because that tower controls every aspect of the game: it rolls the dice, it calculates rent, it knows whose turn it is and where your piece is on the board, and knows exactly how much money you have.
There's no fake paper money anymore, everything is stored on a bank card. There's no more dice rolling, you cover your dice and the tower will electronically roll for you (complete with sound!). It knows exactly where your piece should go because the tower "bathes the board in infrared light, and a camera can see reflectors placed on each game piece". The new version of Monopoly also has some new games like a horse race, auctions, a gas tax and the option to upgrade your utilities so they are green. Monopoly Live is supposed to cost $US50 in late 2011. I'm not sure if I'll be ready for it. [NY Times]

To me, a pet phrase is a favourite expression someone has, usually a little different form the norm, like people who say 'a tad' in the UK instead of 'a bit'.
Student or Learner
Danke schoen. I see, crutch words are those you use in daily conversation unconsciously. But what is pet phrase by your definition as 'more conscious'? Do you mean it's more like slang or something, such as buddies, dudes, kiddo?Originally Posted by MikeNewYork
To me, a pet phrase is a favourite expression someone has, usually a little different form the norm, like people who say 'a tad' in the UK instead of 'a bit'.
I need more examples about pet phrase and crutch word to analysize the difference.
Thank you a lot in advance.
crutch words are used to keep the flow of the discussion going, while the speaker thinks about what he's going to say and/or how.
Eg. "Well, I would tend to think that she's, er, a bit off, you know what I mean."
Maybe the speaker generally hardly ever use them, the term 'crutch word' doesn't imply anything about how often the speaker use it.
On the contrary, 'pet phrase' suggests that the speaker likes the phrase and presumably use it pretty often.
Eg. "He likes her, to say the least. He's treated her to a fancy restaurant, and that must have set him back, to say the least".
The speaker seems to like the underlined phrase! It might well be a 'pet phrase' of his.
Got it. Thanks. It doesn't really carry exact meaning itself just to keep the conversation successive.Originally Posted by Francois

If historical trends hold true, the West Nile virus epidemic peaked some time in August, although numbers of cases continue to increase because of lags in detection and reporting.
As of Sept. 11, the CDC had received reports of 2,636 cases of West Nile virus disease, with 118 deaths, up from 1,993 cases and 87 deaths last week. The virus has been detected in humans in all but five states and has been found in humans, birds, or mosquitoes in every state except Hawaii and Alaska.
Slightly more than half of the reported cases (1,405) involved neuroinvasive disease. That's the highest number of such cases reported through the second week of September since the virus emerged in the U.S. in 1999.
And the number of neuroinvasive cases -- the best indicator of the size of a West Nile epidemic -- is expected to meet or exceed the previous record of 2,946 in 2002, Lyle Petersen, MD, MPH, director of the CDC's division of vector-borne infectious diseases, said Wednesday on a conference call with reporters.
The same trend is expected for the number of deaths, keeping the current outbreak on track to be the worst on record, Petersen said.
Although there were more total cases reported at this time of the year in 2003, Petersen said that that was an artifact of excessive testing for non-neuroinvasive disease by a single state that year.
"One good piece of news is that, based on historical data, ... we've turned the corner on the epidemic," he said. "We're hopeful that the worst of the outbreak is behind us."
